Irvine Child & Elder Abuse Defense Attorneys

Providing Thorough Investigation for a Solid Defense Strategy

Teachers, healthcare workers, even guardians and parents can find themselves
facing charges of child abuse and elder neglect when people misinterpret
actions or information. The Irvine child abuse lawyers and elder neglect
attorneys at the Law Office of Pilchman & Kay, A Professional Law
Corporation, understand how overzealous social workers, hospital staff,
school administrators, and others can use circumstantial evidence as a
basis for making abuse allegations. Since doctors are required to report
what they deem suspicious injuries, innocent people can find themselves
subject to investigation especially if they take care of elderly patients
suffering from dehydration, bed sores, or broken bones. We investigate
the allegations against our clients in order to exonerate them of any
and all charges.

Claims of Elder Abuse & Neglect

Health care workers and those responsible for taking care of the elderly
are sometimes accused of stealing from or abusing those in their care.
Especially in elder abuse lawsuits and probate litigation, issues of undue
influence and mental capacity can result in charges of forgery, fraud,
physical abuse, and theft. At the Law Office of Pilchman & Kay, A
Professional Law Corporation, our elder abuse lawyers in Irvine investigate
the circumstances surrounding the charges against our client. We subpoena
nursing home and hospital records, financial records, interview eyewitnesses,
and consult medical experts in evaluating allegations of financial and
physical abuse of the elderly. Our elder abuse attorneys identify actions
that were misinterpreted, as well as claims that cannot be supported by
the available evidence.

Child Abuse & Suggestibility

Children are very suggestible when adults reinforce certain claims, time
and time again. That is why we work with child psychologists and nationally
recognized criminologists in analyzing videotaped interviews of children
alleging child abuse. Especially in cases involving sexual abuse, when
police or interviewers ask children to use a doll to explain what someone
did to them, it can be very difficult to determine where testimony begins
and suggestibility begins. The same problem arises when drawings and other
tools are used by investigators to determine what happened to a child.
As your criminal defense lawyers, we challenge the validity of these tactics
and undermine the prosecution’s claims regarding child sexual abuse.

Child Abuse & Divorce

In cases involving divorce or the breakup of a family, child abuse allegations
can also surface. It is important to fight these allegations as early
as possible as these allegations can be pursued in family court as well
as criminal court. It is not uncommon for divorcing parents to pit their
children against another parent and allege misconduct simply to obtain
full custody or even increased financial support. Contact our Irvine law
office to talk to our child abuse attorneys.

Allegations of child or elder abuse must be aggressively challenged with
thorough, meticulous investigation of the facts. Our elder child abuse
lawyers have the experience and resources needed to attack the prosecution’s
case, identifying unsubstantiated claims and groundless accusations. We
are, however, highly selective in the child abuse cases we take. If we
are unable or unwilling to take your case, we would be more than happy
to refer your case to another top Irvine
criminal defense attorney.
